A Springtime Supper

Every year, when the weather lightens up, so does my palate. One by one, my usual wintry cravings for hearty stews and comforting pastas are replaced with thoughts of fresh salads and seafood. Such was the case last night, when I found myself suddenly hungering for some type of fish for dinner.

I stopped at the local market to check out their selection of fresh fish and happily discovered some tasty-looking halibut. I placed it in my basket, still unsure of how I would prepare it. I could always bread and fry it per usual, but I found myself wanting to experiment with a more interesting technique. I'd never attempted poaching, but after a few moments' hesitation, I mustered up enough courage to begin gathering ingredients for a variation on tomato-y fish "stew" I'd once enjoyed at a cute little Italian bistro in the East Village.
